Ex-WWE champion reveals why The Bloodline is off limits
The Bloodline has proved their dominance time and again in WWE whether it was Roman Reigns leading the pack or under the current leadership of Solo Sikoa. Meanwhile, the former United States Champion Austin Theory has offered one major reason for not targeting the Sikoa-led group.
Theory alongside Grayson Waller as the A-Town Down Under captured the WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40. However, the duo lost the titles to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa of the #DIY.
The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga eventually secured the Tag Team Championship from Ciampa and Gargano. Since then the heel faction has been unstoppable, with Tonga Loa replacing The Samoan Werewolf under the Free Bird rule.
In an interview with Battleground Podcast, Austin Theory claimed that the sole reason for keeping The Bloodline off limits is due to their strategy of introducing new members whenever they face a credible threat.
"The only reason I'd leave The Bloodline out is because anytime you got a close chance of beating them, there's like a new guy. I'm like, 'Who's this?' Get this Uso out of here," he said. [From 07:37 to 07:46]

Since his return at SummerSlam this year, Roman Reigns has been targeting Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. However, The OTC's efforts have been thwarted twice by the combined force of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa, who have outnumbered him in brutal assaults.
For the upcoming WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event, former rivals, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will join forces to take on The Samoan Werewolf and The Street Champion.
In the wake of the war against his cousin, Sikoa recently teased the possible return of Jimmy Uso ahead of the premium live event in Atlanta on October 5.
Only time will tell whether the duo of The OTC and The American Nightmare will win or if The Bloodline will emerge victorious at Bad Blood.
